sam was very tired but he could see the top of the mountain ahead. it had been two days since they began the climb to the top. at first he had felt excited and full of anticipation at the thought of climbing such a high mountain but now he just felt tired and weary. he was in his sixties. he wanted to stop climbing, he down and go to sleep. as he staggered slowly at the back of the group he heard his brother, fred, calling to him.
"it's not far now! come on, sam. you don't want to come so far and not succeed. what will you tell your grand- children?" sam smiled and lifted his head. the top of the mountain appeared closer now. perhaps he could make it if he only kept going. it was now or never to the top!
